Read this first · the figures below need context
74% of The Ko Family Foundation’s FY2024 grant dollars went to Morgan Stanley Global Impact Funding Trust Inc, not to grantees.
Its money now reaches organizations through that sponsor, which does not report who recommended each grant. FY2024 names 5 organizations directly, so a portfolio cannot be read from it. Everything below is therefore FY2020, the last year The Ko Family Foundation named its own grantees at scale: 10 organizations, $61k. It is dated, not current.
